man, There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but l had
not personally suffered from it. 1t was
in 1880 | had my first attack. 1t came
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi-
ton, chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, a disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. l was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West SD
street. hoped the attack would wear

known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me qlinine and told me
what to do. l car sun up the first four
and a half or five years of my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally /
was laid up for a day or two, but on
the whole / stuck to my work. l kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept or getting weak
er and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now well de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. / had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that | could do or the doc
tors could do. II held me in a grip like

During thr latter part of this period,
early in 1856, my physician said:
"Miller, there's no use IN my taking
any more money Of vou can't do you
any good. | mIgu r"u pounds of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
: help You"
. On the strength of this | gave up the
r use of q~uininc altogether. and made up
, my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards--about the
: last of May-my wife saw I'm advertise
: ment of KaSkime in II New York paper.
, She told me of it. | said: Stuff and
nonsense! it can't do me any good"
But she went to u druggists, neverthe-
: less, to get it. The druggist advised
D her against KaSkine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw AVIAN her money on it. &c.
T He said he didn't keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor, Mr.. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her II bottle at a drug store in
:, Sixth avenue.
s Almost against my will, and without
the least faith. | began taking it, In
one week | was better. | began to

L began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first OF
June, 1886, and by the end of that
month ! was back at my bench at c. P.
. Smiths scroll saving factory in 10th
street, where | work now.
Since then | have never lost a day
from sickness. Taking Kaskine only,
i about forty pellets in four equal doses
!" a day, | continued to gain. The ma
laria appeared to be killed in my sys,
l. tenn, and now I've got back my ole
weight-175 pounds-and my ole
strength to labor. / am an astonish'
ment to myself and to my friends, ant

d could do would I've to bring Il dead MAJ
